This thesis was put forward by Michael Billinge and myself, in an article published in the journal EARLY MUSIC dated May 1987 (not 1887, which I'm sure is a...
I had always assumed that the Lawes harp consorts were written for a triple harp. Admittedly I have not done any research myself. I have heard Cheryl Ann...
